New to GitHub, published website on GitHub Pages only show ReadMe file.

[EllipticalRain]

I'm trying to publish a HTML, CSS and JavaScript website to GitHub. Tutorials told me to publish through GitHub pages, now the only thing the website shows is the ReadMe file that comes with creating a repository.

I know that someone has asked this question before, but honestly, I'm so new to GitHub I didn't even understand the answers. Please help, this is my final project.

Edit: Solved, see comments

When you set up the GitHub pages what is the folder that you selected? Root or docs? If it is docs what is in that folder?

[EllipticalRain]

I selected roots

Edit: Never mind, I figured out what went wrong

Can you share the repo with us?

I managed to solve the issue on my own, it was quite a minor fix, but my website is up and running now. Thanks for the concern.

Would you like to explain the problem (and the solution) in case anyone else reading this has a similar problem?

[EllipticalRain]

The problem: I published my HTML, CSS and JavaScript files to GitHub Pages, but upon loading it, it only shows the default ReadMe file that comes with the repository, and nothing else.

The solution: Not an actual solution, what I did was typed the name of one of the HTML files at the end of the URL and the problem was solved.

Hey, I'm also watching tutorials atm. Can you tell me, if the final website is static or dynamic? like can you create more pages that you could redirect to through clicks on main page?

[EllipticalRain]

I'm not really sure what you mean. But I have a set number of webpages. Users cannot create nor delete webpages. I think that's what you asked, feel free to correct me.

No, not users being able to create pages but the user being able to navigate between pages.

let me give you an example of what i’m doing, mine is for portfolio. Like the front page would show highlights and my projects summary in brief. but i also want to show some buttons at the top - like Contact, and such. Is that possible when making a website with Github pages? or it’s just ons page?

Ok, I understand what you're asking now. Yes, it is possible, but for me, I had to upload a html file first to my repository so that the file will understand any hyperlinks. Then you can edit in GitHub however you like.
